Comments - CentOS 5.x/6.x mysql-lib conflicts and postfix

I'm not able to reproduce this error on CentOS 5. Specifically, there doesn't appear to be a mysql-libs package.

The basic MariaDB packages for CentOS 5 are:

• MariaDB-client-5.2.9-102.el5.x86_64.rpm
• MariaDB-server-5.2.9-102.el5.x86_64.rpm
• MariaDB-shared-5.2.9-102.el5.x86_64.rpm

The version of postfix yum installs when I do "yum install postfix" is postfix-2.3.3-2.3.el5_6.x86_64 so maybe the mysql-libs dependency has something to do with the newer version or with CentOS 6.

Just so I have them written down somewhere, the commands I used to download and install MariaDB were:

wget
  http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/mariadb-5.2.9/kvm-rpm-centos5-amd64/rpms/MariaDB-client-5.2.9-102.el5.x86_64.rpm \
  http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/mariadb-5.2.9/kvm-rpm-centos5-amd64/rpms/MariaDB-server-5.2.9-102.el5.x86_64.rpm \
  http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/mariadb-5.2.9/kvm-rpm-centos5-amd64/rpms/MariaDB-shared-5.2.9-102.el5.x86_64.rpm

sudo rpm -Uvh \
  MariaDB-client-5.2.9-102.el5.x86_64.rpm \
  MariaDB-server-5.2.9-102.el5.x86_64.rpm \
  MariaDB-shared-5.2.9-102.el5.x86_64.rpm

I tried several different scenarios, resetting my virtual machine after each one (e.g. install Postfix first, install MariaDB first, and so on...). I naturally ran into some issues when I attempted to install MariaDB when MySQL was installed, but a simple "yum remove mysql mysql-server" followed by installing MariaDB as above fixed that.

As above, so that I have the error message written down:

[buildbot@vm-centos5-amd64 ~]$ 

I'm going to keep looking into it. Let me know if you have any suggestions. My next step will be to create a CentOS 6 VM and try with that. I happened to have a CentOS 5 VM "lying around", so that is what I tried first.

Yes i believe it's CentOS 6.x specific issue.

I was having the same problem and ran

rpm -e --nodeps mysql-libs

This let me install the MariaDB on Centos 6.3.

I found it from the following blog post. http://blog.johannes-beck.name/?p=199
